I was wondering if anyone had done ST-based magic? For example, in a system of ST-based RPM system, Magery would grant practitioners the ability to physically grasp and warp streams of mana. In such a magical system, each stream of mana would be associated with a specific Path, meaning that magic would involve physically warping streams of magic into magical effects.

While I am using RPM as an example, there is no particular reason why ST-based magic could not be used with other systems of magic. Do you think that there would be any issues that might occur with ST-based magic? Would you ever want to try it out?
